! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe

place for future reference. If the washing machine

is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the

instruction manual remains with the machine so

that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/

herself with its operation and features.

! Read these instructions carefully: they contain

vital information relating to the safe installation

and operation of the appliance.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Remove the washing machine from its packaging.

2. Make sure that the washing machine has

not been damaged during the transportation

process. If it has been damaged, contact the

retailer and do not proceed any further with the

installation process.

3. Remove the 4

protective screws (used

during transportation)

and the rubber washer

with the corresponding

spacer, located on

the rear part of the

appliance (see figure).

4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs

provided.

5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need

them again if the washing machine needs to be

moved to another location.

! Packaging materials should not be used as

toys for children.

Levelling

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy

floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture

cabinets or anything else.

2. If the floor is not

perfectly level,

compensate for

any unevenness by

tightening or loosening

the adjustable front

feet (see figure); the

angle of inclination,

measured in relation

to the worktop, must

not exceed 2°.

Levelling the machine correctly will provide

it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and

excessive noise and prevent it from shifting

while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or

a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow

a sufficient ventilation space underneath the

washing machine.

Connecting the electricity and

water supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply

pipe by screwing it

to a cold water tap

using a ¾ gas threaded

connection (see figure).

Before performing the

connection, allow the

water to run freely until

it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the

inlet hose to the

washing machine by

screwing it onto the

corresponding water

inlet of the appliance,

which is situated on

the top right-hand side

of the rear part of the

appliance (see figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over

or bent.

! The water pressure at the tap must fall within

the values indicated in the Technical details table

(see next page).

! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a

specialised shop or an authorised technician.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

! Use the ones supplied with the machine.

Installation

65 - 100 cm

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain

hose, without bending

it, to a drainage duct

or a wall drain located

at a height between

65 and 100 cm from

the floor.

Alternatively, place

the drain hose

over the edge of

a washbasin or

bathtub, by fastening

the guide (which

can be purchased

at the technical

assistance centre) to

the tap (see figure).

The free end of the

hose should not be underwater.

! We advise against the use of hose

extensions; if it is absolutely necessary, the

extension must have the same diameter as the

original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in

length.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains

socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and in compliance with

the applicable law;

• the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s

maximum power load indicated on the

Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine;

• the supply voltage is included within the

values indicated on the Technical Data Plate

fixed on the machine.

• the socket is compatible with the washing

machine’s plug. If this is not the case,

replace the socket or the plug.

Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp

fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp

socket for immediate use. Before using the

appliance please read the instructions below.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

EARTHED.

THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD

BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED

ELECTRICIAN.

Replacing the fuse:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA

approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be

used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse

cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a

replacement is obtained.

Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must

be of the correct colour as indicated by

the coloured marking or the colour that is

embossed in words on the base of the plug.

Replacements can be obtained directly from

your nearest Service Depot.

Removing the plug:

If your appliance has a non-rewireable

moulded plug and you should wish to re-route

the mains cable through partitions, units etc.,

please ensure that either:

the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere

rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of

approval.

or:

the mains cable is wired directly into a 13

amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in

compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible

without moving the appliance.

Disposing of the plug:

Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself,

you make the pins unusable so that it cannot

be accidentally inserted into a socket.

Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative

plug:

Important: the wires in the mains lead are

coloured in accordance with the following

code:

Green & Yellow Earth

Blue Neutral

Brown Live

As the colours of the wires in the lead may

not correspond with the coloured markings

identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed

as follows:

Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal

marked E or or coloured Green or Green &

Yellow.

Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or

coloured Red.

Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or

coloured Black.

If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be

fitted with a

13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or

at the distribution board.

If you are in any doubt regarding the electrical

supply to your machine, consult a qualified

electrician before use.

How to connect an alternative plug:

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in

accordance with the following code:

BLUE NEUTRAL (N)

BROWN LIVE (L)

GREEN & YELLOW EARTH (E)

Disposing of the appliance:

When disposing of the appliance please

remove the plug by cutting the mains cable

as close as possible to the plug body and

dispose of it as described on the previous

page.

! The washing machine should not be installed

in an outdoor environment, not even where

the area is sheltered, because it may be very

dangerous to leave it exposed to damp, rain

and thunderstorms.

! When the washing machine is installed, the

mains socket must be within easy reach.

! Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.

! The power supply cable must never be bent

or dangerously compressed.

! The power supply cable must only be

replaced by an authorised serviceman.

Warning! The company denies all liability if and

when these norms are not respected.

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed, and

before you use it for the first time, run a wash

cycle with detergent and no laundry, using the

programme “Auto Clean” (see “Cleaning the

washing machine”).

Service

Before calling for Assistance:

• Check whether you can solve the problem alone (see “Troubleshooting”);

• Restart the programme to check whether the problem has been solved;

• If this is not the case, contact an authorised Technical Assistance Centre using the telephone number provided on the

guarantee certificate.

! Always request the assistance of authorised technicians.

Have the following information to hand:

• the type of problem;

• the appliance model (Mod.);

• the serial number (S/N).

This information can be found on the data plate applied to the rear of the washing machine, and can also be found on the

front of the appliance by opening the door.

Care and maintenance

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-

cleaning pump which does not require any

maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such

as coins or buttons) may fall into the protective

pre-chamber at the base of the pump.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and

unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. Take off the cover

panel on the front

of the machine by

first pressing it in

the centre and then

pushing downwards

on both sides until

you can remove it

(see figures).

2. Unscrew the lid

by rotating it anti-

clockwise (see figure):

a little water may

trickle out. This is

perfectly normal.

3. Clean the inside thoroughly.

4. Screw the lid back on.

5. Reposition the panel, making sure the hooks

are securely in place before you push it onto

the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If

there are any cracks, it should be replaced

immediately: during the wash cycles, water

pressure is very strong and a cracked hose

could easily split open.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

Cutting off the water and electricity

supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.

This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside

the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.

• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it

and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing machine

• The outer parts and rubber components

of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft

cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not

use solvents or abrasives.

• The washing machine has a “Auto Clean”

programme for its internal parts that must be

run with no load in the drum.

For maximum performance you may want

to use either the detergent (i.e. a quantity

10% the quantity specified for lightly-soiled

garments) or special additives to clean the

washing machine. We recommend running a

cleaning programme every 40 wash cycles.

To start the programme press buttons A and

B simultaneously for 5 seconds (see figure).

The programme will start automatically and

will last approximately 70 minutes. To stop the

cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer

To remove the drawer,

press lever (1) and pull

the drawer outwards

(2) (see figure).

Wash it under running

water; this procedure

should be repeated

frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of your

appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to

prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

up and the third time the 1h icon lights up. When pressed

the fourth time the 9’ icon lights up again.

Fast Forward

During a wash programme and under certain conditions,

pressing this button allows for ending the wash

programme after only 20’ if necessary, by performing a

brief rinse cycle followed by a spin cycle at maximum 800

rpm or lower, if reduced manually during the programme

customisation phase. In this case, washing and rinsing

performance will be reduced. After pressing the button, the

relative indicator light turns on together with the indicator

light of the rinse phase. If the selected temperature is

equal to 40° and/or the button is pressed during the initial

phase of the programme, the “Fast Forward” option lasts

longer so that the detergent can dissolve properly and

avoid damaging the fabrics. In this case, the rinse phase

indicator light flashes while the wash indicator light remains

fixed until the necessary activation conditions are fulfilled.

If less than 20’ remain of the wash programme, the option

will be disabled.

Stain removal

This option allows for selecting the type of dirt so as to

optimally adjust the cycle for removing the stains. The

following types of dirt can be selected:

- Food, for stains caused by foodstuffs and beverages,

for example.

- Work, for grease and ink stains, for example.

- Outdoor, for mud and grass stains, for example.

! The wash cycle duration varies according to the type of

selected dirt.

For all Test Institutes:

Test Programmes according to SASO 2885:2018

: set wash cycle 8 with a temperature of 60°C + antifoam.

* If you select programme and exclude the spin cycle, the machine will drain only.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary accor-

ding to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.

Push & Wash

This function allows for starting a wash cycle even when the machine is switched off without having to press the ON/OFF

button in advance, or after switching on the machine, without having activated any button and/or selector (otherwise, the

Push & Wash function will be deactivated). To start the Push & Wash cycle press and hold the relative button for 2 seconds.

The lit indicator light indicates that the cycle has started. This wash cycle is ideal for cotton or synthetic fabrics, as it washes

at a temperature of 30° and a maximum spin speed of 1200 rpm. Maximum load 4 kg. (Cycle duration 50’).

How does it work?

1. Load the laundry (cotton and/or synthetic garments) and close the door.

2. Pour the detergent and additives.

3. Start the programme by pressing and holding the Push & Wash button for 2 seconds. The relative indicator light turns

green and the door will lock (the DOOR LOCKED symbol turns on).

N.B.: starting the wash cycle through the Push & Wash button activates an automatic non-customisable cycle

recommended for cotton and synthetic fabrics. This programme does not allow for setting any additional options.

To open the door while an automatic cycle is under way, press the START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED symbol

is switched off the door may be opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle from the point at

which it was interrupted.

4. Once the programme is finished, the END indicator light turns on.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Successful washing results also depend on the correct

dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not

necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in

fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and

contribute to environmental pollution.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because these

create too much foam.

! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-

washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.

! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

Open the detergent

dispenser drawer and pour

in the detergent or washing

additive, as follows.

Compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

Compartment 2: Washing detergent (powder or liquid)

If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the

removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper

dosage. If powder detergent is used, place the partition

into slot B.

Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener must not exceed the “max” level indicated

on the central pin.

Bleach cycle

If you wish to bleach the laundry, load the washing machine

and set the Rinse programme .

Start the machine and wait for it to complete the first water

filling cycle (roughly 2 minutes). Put the machine in pause

mode by pressing the “Start/Pause” button , open

the detergent drawer and pour the bleach (observe the

recommended doses indicated on the package) into the wash

compartment where the partition was previously mounted.

Restart the cycle by pressing the “Start/Pause” button .

If desired, it is possible to add fabric softener into the

appropriate compartment of the detergent drawer.

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.

• Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of wash

cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1.200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles

Sport (programme 1) is designed for washing lightly soiled

sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we

recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated

in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using liquid

detergent, and adding the amount suitable for a half-load.

Dark: use programme 2 to wash dark-coloured garments.

This programme is designed to maintain dark colours over

time. We recommend using a liquid detergent for the best

results when washing dark-coloured garments.

Anti-odour: use programme 3 for washing garments

with bad odours (e.g. smoke, sweat, fried food). The

programme is designed to remove bad odours while

preserving the fabric fibres. Synthetics fabrics or mixed

loads should be washed at 40°, and resistant cotton

fabrics at 60°.

Delicate: use programme 4 to wash very delicate

garments. It is advisable to turn the garments inside out

before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent

on delicate garments.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Blue:

the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved

by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool

garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the

products are washed according to the instructions on the

garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this

washing machine (M1127)

Duvet: to wash single or double duvets (the weight of

which should not exceed 3,5 kg), cushions or clothes

padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the

special wash programme number 6. We recommend that

duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded

inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the total

volume of the drum is used. To achieve the best results,

we recommend that a liquid detergent is used and placed

inside the detergent dispenser drawer.

Coloured: use this programme 11 to wash bright

coloured clothes. The programme is designed to maintain

bright colours over time.

Cotton Standard 20° (programme 12) ideal for lightly

soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels

achieved at cold temperatures, which are comparable to

washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action

which operates at varying speed, with repeated and

frequent peaks.

Eco Synthetic 20° (programme 13) ideal for mixed

loads (cotton and synthetics) with a normal soil level. The

effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures

are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at

varying speed, across set average intervals.

Rapid (programme 14) allows for varying the garment

treatment duration from 9’ to 1h. Pressing the

corresponding “Rapid” button allows for varying the cycle

duration between 9’ (refresh), 30’ (wash), 1h (wash).

The 9’ cycle refreshes garments using fabric softener

only; it is advisable not to add any detergent into

the machine. The 30’ programme is designed to wash

lightly soiled garments at 30° (excluding wool and silk)

with a 3 kg maximum load in a short time: it only lasts 30

minutes and allows for saving time and energy. The “1h”

cycle is designed to wash moderately soiled resistant

cotton garments at 60° in an hour, with good washing

performance. For synthetic or mixed garments, we

recommend lowering the temperature down to 40°.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations

before every spin and to distribute the load in a uniform

manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which

is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If,

after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly,

the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is

excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs

the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage

improved load distribution and balance, we recommend

small and large garments are mixed in the load.

Troubleshooting

Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service (see “ Service”),

make sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.

Problem:

The washing machine does not

switch on.

The wash cycle does not start.

The washing machine does not fill

with water (the text “H2O” on the

display).

The washing machine

continuously takes in and drains

water.

The washing machine does not

drain or spin.

The washing machine vibrates a

lot during the spin cycle.

The washing machine leaks.

The “option” and START/PAUSE

indicator lights flash rapidly and an

error code appears on the display

(e.g.: F-01, F-..).

There is too much foam.

Push & Wash does not activate.

The programme lasts a lot less

that expected.

Possible causes / Solutions:

• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.

• There is no power in the house.

• The washing machine door is not closed properly.

• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The water tap has not been opened.

• A delayed start has been set.

• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

• The hose is bent.

• The water tap has not been opened.

• There is no water supply in the house.

• The pressure is too low.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor

(see “Installation”).

• The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).

• The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.

If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the

appliance off and contact the Technical Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one

of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage,

causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-

draining valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience.

• The wash cycle does not include draining: some cycles require the draining

process to be enabled manually.

• The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).

• The drainage duct is clogged.

• The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see “Installation”).

• The washing machine is not level (see “Installation”).

• The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and walls (see “Installation”).

• The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see “Installation”).

• The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see “Care

and maintenance”).

• The drain hose is not fixed properly (see “Installation”).

• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then

switch it back on again.

If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.

• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text “for

washing machines” or “hand and machine wash”, or the like).

• Too much detergent was used.

• After switching on the machine a control other than Push & Wash was activated.

Switch the machine off and press the Push & Wash button.

• The “Fast Forward” option was activated.

Connecting the drain

hose

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drain duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and

100 cm from the floor.

Alternatively, place the drain hose over the edge of a washbasin or bathtub, by fastening the guide

(which can be purchased at the technical assistance centre) to the tap. The free end of the hose

should not be underwater.

! We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is absolutely necessary, the extension must have

the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Electrical

connections

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law;

• the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s maximum power load indicated on the Technical Data

Plate fixed on the machine;

• the supply voltage is included within the values indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine.

• the socket is compatible with the washing machine’s plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.
